The Village Doctor.

Ore of the most entertaining people
in the village is the doctor; for, howev-
er closely allied with his patient COM
munity, he must also be, to greater or
less extent, man of the world. The
time you spend with him will surely not
be thrown away-unless, indeed, you
visit him in his professional capacity;
then it win all depend upon cireum-
stances. A doctor in America is very
apt to have been a traveller, and, being
an American, to have seen a great deal
that an ordinary traveller misses. His
knowledge of the inside of his fellow
creatures seems to assist him in observ-
ING facts connected with their external
environment; he is comparatively free
from prejudices, and his opinions upon
things in general are dictated in solid
common sense. His professional train
ing tends to sharpen his insight into
human nature, and, if his own nature
be sociable and humane, he forms many
agreeable acquaintance in all parts of
the world.
In the seclusion of his rural study,
Swallowed by the elm tree on the lawn,
and rendered fragrant by the lilac bush
under the window. he cons over the
latest discoveries of science, and medi-
tates wisely and discriminatory upon
politics, literature and art. He is ami
ably skeptioal, and he Is cheerful by
force of professional habit; you may
interest and amuse. him, but you can
scarcely surprise him; and he viii east
" detect in YOU. and demurely satirize,
any tendency to indulge in the Mum
chausen vein. He is not wealthy
man, and most of his fees are paid in
commodities other than coiE, when they
are paid at all; yet he has enjoyed his
life, and has the consciousness of hav-
ing been some benefit TO his fellow
creatures of only by removing them to
happier shpere. But, if he be the best
man in the village, the reason is. it
must be confessed, because he belongs
to it only in the physical sense; his
mind and faculties and his higher SYM
pathies have. a far wider range. He
resides there because he was born there,
and because man who has surveyed
existence in its larger aspect cannot do
better than spend his closing years where
his years began. Julian Hawthorne,
in American Magazine.

1t is an interesting sight 50 SIT for
fifteen minutes in front of The counter
where the water is handed to the visi-
tors. Especially is this sight interesting
during the forenoon when the regular
visitors have crawled ont of sight in
their rooms at the hotels and thirty or
fifty carloads of excursion;sts pour
into the park. Bilious-looking old men
drink with more of an effort than
all other corners. They invari-
ably gulp down half-glassful of
water, lean heavily on their canes. or
place their disengaged hands over their
stOmachs as the ease may be, roll their
eyes spasmodically, and act just as if
they feared the water would result in

known fluids in the astronomical

This story is true. A few years ago
while Bishop Williams, as was his
annual custom, was spending n few
days at Lake George no went out on
the lake with friends to try his luck.
After fishing for some time with indif-
ferent success it was suggested that a
bottle of champagne be opened, and
the Bishop was elected to draw the
cork. The cork being "sticker." he
was Obliged to pull so hard that when
it finally started the bottle kicked
from his hand, struck the bottom of the
boat. and was shattered to pieces. The
Bishop viewed the wreckage in frOwn-
ing silence for moment. 1t was their
only bottle of champagne and their
threats were parched. Slowly raising
his head, the Bishop turned to one of
his companions and in voice kept
serene by an effort remarked:
"Can YOU think of something to say
that will be appropriate to the oc-
casion?"
.'And YOU" turning to the second,
"can't you say something to fit the
case?'
I've nothing to say"
'.Well, Finkle. what can you say?"
asked his reverence. appealing to the
bOatman.

cordial reply.

Letter to San Francisco Argonaut:
There go the little cripple and her
father, said Lena. peeping through
the trees, as a little donkey-cart drawn
by a particularly neat little donkey
wound its way up the path beneath
them. An immense Englishman, with
probably the largest foot that was ever
appended to a man. was walking clong
beside it, putting. and steaming. and
blowing, but walking with logged de
termination. He wore a suit of gigan-
tic tennis ilannels, pair of gigantic
tennis shoes. and gigantic soft hat
which Topped about his ears and shout
ders like huge leaf. Every proper
ton about him was gigantic and every
line about him was round In the cart
sat a proud, mperious-looking beauti-
full young girl. She Evas trim, shapely,
and elegant. from the crown of her
proudly poised head to the sole of her
shapely foot. whose boot glistened in
the sunlight as she sat. But upon the
seat beside her lay a pair of elegant
crutches
did you ever see such a devoted faith
er? asked Lena. I'VE have happened
to come across them so many times since
our arrival. and the little procession IS
always like this. They are always to-
gether and the old gentleman is always
so interested. Poor little girl. she is as
pretty as a flower. but she looks as
proud as a Duchess"
She is a Duchess, said Mr.. Van
| Skaak, who seemed to know little OF
every one and everything, which was
perhaps the secret of Fred's penchant
for him. land a very historical name
she bears. They are the Duke and
Duchess of Wellington.
at is a pity the Iron Duke did not
make arrangements TO transmit his
nose to the entire family" said Mr..
Schermerhorn little irreverently, foI
the ladies were quite over come n
being near so great Il name. He Is
certainly not an engaging-looking per
son.
Mr.. Van Skaak looked distinctly
panied.
II have often seen this lady in the
| huntlng-leid during her engagement to
the Duke, - he said. ..She was one OF
the best riders in England.a and certainly
the most fearless. But she tried too
wide a ditch once and was thrown, poor
little lady. She was picked up badly
wounded, and with her leg so shattered
that it became necessary to cut il of
altogether. 1t was amputated so com
pletely that surgery can give her nc
artificial aid, and she is condemned to
those crutches for life. A CLINT OF
sunlight fell upon their silver noun
tings as he spoke. and the little cart
disappeared in the windiIgs of the
forest. Every one says Poor little
thingr' and seems to consider the story
finished.
But you do not observe. said Mr..
Van Skaak with the aggrieved air OF
one whose point has not been taken,

every one expected he would. Il
was thought rather nice of him-and

An incident observed by Only few
took place in the green room of the
Academy of Music last Friday evening.
upon the occasion of the Presidents re-
ception. which went far toward demon
strating the womanly tact possessed by
the wife of the nations head.
Among the many prominent people
present was ex-President Hayes.
Naturally of a retiring disposition, he
did not mingle. to any great extent,
with the celebrities. When the time
arrived for the presidential party to
take their places on the stage they
formed in couples, and the ex-President
was left without a partner. At this
moment the President andssBfrs. Cleve-
land entered the green room from the
proscenidm box. Mrs. Cleveland, with
womanly instinct, took ia the situation
at a glance, and in an instant glided
across the floor, past the rest of the
company, laid her hand upon the ex-
Presidents arm and took up her posi-
ton at the head of the line. President
Cleveland took Chairman Kasson' arm,
and in this order the party fled on the
stage The whole thing was the work
Of a second, but in that time Mr.. Hayes
was relieved from an embarrassing
position. and Mrs. Cleveland had scored
another OF those inimitable strokes of
finesse for which she is noted.
Another incident which seems to have
general observation showed that
the President wife is no novice in the
art Of diplomacy Early in the even
ing Mrs. Cleveland had done a great deal
Of Misunderstanding. but wearying of the
physical strain. merely acknowledged
the salutation Of those who paid their
with bright smile or nod.

Peculiar Freaks Of Insane per.ens.

Keeper Maest of the Erie County
Almshouse says that in his experience
one of the peculiar freaks of insanity is
the seeming reversal of natural tenden-
cies. '.For instance, he says, eve
have in the male wards fine collections
Of ported plants and climbing vines
which grow so luxuriantly that they
curtain the windows. The men tend
these carefully, pluck away the dead
leaves. stir up the dirt in the pots,
prune the vines, keep them carefully
watered. and in divers other ways man
fest the tenderest watchfulness. Not
so with the women. Every attempt to
introduce plants and vines as feature
of the female wards, save in the cottage
where the mildest cases are confined,
has proved a fat failure. The women
pin out the plants by the roots, tear
down the vines, and manifest other de-
struetive tendencies entirely at variance
with the nature of the sex in general. -
